Play! By Sephora December 2017 Box Spoilers!

No, no and once more – no! I do not want to get either of these. I have no use for liquid eyeliners (my hand trembles and I always end up messing up… only on one side).
The shadows are way too dark for every day wear for me and not festive enough for holiday, and anyway, I hate brown/red shadows. They make me think either about tired eyes or bruised eyes, when used on fair skin.

I’m canceling after this box been having a case of FOMO for like 6 months was hoping for a great holiday box I have tan skin and the smash box duo is probably too close to my skin tone and yes I’m going to join the ‘not another black eyeliner’ chorus I’ve been getting them in this box every other month with this box
I think I’d rather spend the $10 at Sephora towards something I actually want

So I noticed something with play and I wanted to know if it was just me or if y’all have seen the change too. The best thing about play to me is that I can get a 50 beauty insider points card every month and for about a week and a half or so I could use both together so I could essentially get 100 bonus points every purchase that’s why I have so many and spend so many.
For example: The September card expired on October 31st and the October card expired on November 30th but I was able to use both on October 31st to get 100 bonus points with my cheap $8 multiple use Sephora mask purchase. I’ve been doing this for almost a year now and have been loving it ever since. What I don’t understand is when I made another $8 purchase just a few days ago on the 29th of November with my October card that didn’t expire until November 30th and my November card that doesn’t expire until the 31st of December I only received 50 points total and both were scanned like always. So I’m very disappointed and was wondering if anyone else had this new problem? 😱 I can still keep reusing my cards like always but now I won’t want to as much because the bonus won’t be as good. I know it says on the back that if you use multiple cards than you will only get 50 bonus points and that’s true if it’s the same month like 2 October cards, 2 November cards, etc. It has to be 2 different months, but I’ve always gotten 100 points for so long, I wonder why the sudden change? 😭😬😤
Rant over! Lol 😂

I haven’t tried this black eyeliner, so I’m fine if I get it. All black eyeliners are not created equal, lol.

I rarely complain about Sephora boxes. Because I really don’t think they should have to take into account I’m subscribed to several other boxes, when they curate theirs. They have to balance between brand new subscribers who haven’t seen this before, and long time subscribers, which is probably not that easy. So understand that sometimes i’ll get stuff I’ve gotten in other boxes, and that’s okay with me. I get that some people are not, and that’s fine too.

If it get to the point I’m in overload, I’ll just cancel like I’ve done with other subs.

Would have been down for that eyeshadow but i cancelled last week. Nothing really excites me anymore in subscription boxes. I cancelled ipsy too. I feel like these boxes are more for people just getting into makeup and dont really know what they like. Thats how it was for me at least. I was subbed to ipsy for 2 years and sephora for close to a year and loved them but now i know what products i really want and dont want so that money for me is better off going towards something i know i want.

I’m out. This is the last month. I really enjoy BF so I guess skincare is more important now. Cosmetics aren’t as fun.

Now that I hit 50 I’m finding better skin + less makeup looks younger on me. I love me some Sephora. A tough one to let go.

Looks pretty good to me!

Omg, please let this be in my box!

Oh, I would be very excited to try that eyeliner. I hope I get it 🙂

SO while $10 isn’t a HUGE amount, I went and cancelled just now. 🙁 I get so many other boxes, mostly beauty ones too so it won’t be missed, much. hehe I hope anyway.

I actually managed to miss the billing for this month too which is a bonus.

I had been debating cancelling this or allure but you gotta admit, when allure does an awesome box they really do an awesome box so FOMO dictated Sephora was the one to go. lol

this is THE best liquid liner there is. I am so excited.

Maybe it’s because I tend to only subscribe to one or Max 2 beauty subs that I love when I get a new black eyeliner. I always seem to get a new one when the previous one is about to run out and it’s been a good 3 years since I’ve bought eyeliner.

I’ve really happy with my sephora play. Out of Birchbox, ipsy, beauty box5, and allure this has been my favorite

Every month I keep seeing the comments, “Not another black eyeliner”, ” Oh please, no more black eyeliner”, “Please, no more brushes”, “No more nude lipstick/lipgloss”, “No more primer”, etc., etc., etc. This is a makeup bag. What are you expecting? A diamond ring?? If you are expecting something besides makeup, maybe you should cancel. Geez, it’s ten friggin dollars. There are not many GOOD black eyeliners you can buy for $10. It is something I use every day and I will take every one I can get!

I don’t regret canceling two weeks ago! I hate black eyeliner

Ugh if I never get any other black eyeliner!!!! I’ve literally got a whole allure box full of them now

Move along nothing to see here.

Ya I’m about over this play bag there is not much to play around with when it’s the same o stuff in all of these subscriptions.. This one just frustrates me bc i spend a ton in this store yearly and pay extra for this bag every month and its nothing spectacular. Never any new brands or brand variations just the same 10 brands over and over. The samples are more packaging than product itself. I think what gets under my skin the most is that quite a bit of items in the bags this year have been identical to either point redemption products or gifts with purchase from other stores or websites. There has been at least 5 items in the last few months that i got in my bag that was something i got as a reward or perk with the identical barcode and everything.. Shoot even goto birchbox and some of the items with purchase are items we received in our bags.. Plus the customization is far from being custom. The mufe hd foundation was probthe only thing i got that actually was my color..

Meh. Glad I cancelled. I am enjoying the Allure box so much more!

I wouldn’t use either of these. I just signed back up in November after opting out for a few months but if I don’t get anything I can use it looks like I’ll be opting out for the last time.

I was really hoping that maybe they’d include a full size Sephora Collection product or something for the holidays, but alas. I think this might be my last month unless the box really blows my mind. Things rarely seem to be a good match for my skin and hair and I wish there was better customization. Sample choice would be awesome but I doubt that’ll happen any time soon.

Not pleased. I hope they give beauty bar soap this time

While I have quite a few eyeliners, I am happy to see the brown eyeshadow and will definitely use that up.

Oh man…I just got this exact Smashbox item as a GWP from Sephora 2 months ago,………..

I’ve received that exact Smashbox shadow in an Ulta bag and even though it’s Clinique, I think everyone is sick of black eyeliner, liquid or otherwise.

I hate getting black eyeliners! I wish subscription boxes would lay off the black eyeliner. All of us who have more than 1 makeup subscription have enough black eyeliner to last until Jesus comes back.
